Ad-Hoc -
Directly connecting to another computer, for peer-to-peer
communication, using wireless network adapters on each computer, such as two or
more AWUS036NHA wireless adapters.

Note:
1) An Infrastructure network contains an Access Point or wireless router. All the wireless
devices or clients will connect to the wireless router or access point.
2)
An Ad-Hoc network contains only clients, such as laptops with wireless desktop adapters. All
the adapters must be in Ad-Hoc mode to communicate.
Wireless Mode
